Very well done! I enjoyed this round because it was a little tougher. You obviously read the whole thread and put the clues together. Way to go!

For your prize, instead of the requisite stupid picture of me, I am including a very cool pic of Wendy O Williams!



Thanks everyone for playing! Play again tomorrow! :hi:

back in the day. Do tell us more!

[shugh514]

69. I'm from the Mid-Hudson Valley

It was a cheap train ticket for a round trip on Metro-North so I went to lots of shows in NYC. In 1986 I sublet a friend's apartment off of Houston Street for the summer. I used to see Richie Stotts at the local grocery. He was hard to miss with his blue mohawk.



Edit:grammar

I spent my teenagerhood going to shows at the Troc here in Philly, but you can't beat NYC in the mid-80's!
